To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Everything touching the possession and control of property belongs of right to the civil authority. Our Lord Himself, when on the earth, though He was King of kings and Lord of lords, would not meddle with a case of secular property, even when a man had cheated his own brother out of part of his inheritance. " Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you ? " was His unanswerable question to one who would engage Him to decide a question of prop- erty. Even while the emptrors of Rome were Pagan...s, the Church — as in the case of Paul of Samosata— went into the secular courts for the settlement of the right of property, even church property. Now, for everything concerning the tenure and management of property, the Church is dependent upon the State, necessarily, here in America as well as elsewhere. We have no difficulty in getting the State to dp for us anything we really need, in this line. In this State of Pennsylvania, for instance, any number of persons may associate themselves together for any religious purpose ; and, having submitted their articles of asso- ciation to the inspection of the judges of a certain court, and due pub- licity being secured, when the judge certifies that there is nothing therein " contrary to the Constitution and Laws of the United States or of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," the applicants are forth- with recognized and recorded as a corporation at law." This is essentially distinct from the possession or exercise of any power touching questions of doctrine, discipline, or worship, or the election or appointment to office in the Church.
